Description
*In Person Training*
Course Objective: This course explores what it takes for organizations to design, manage, and communicate employee benefits that support health, financial security, and overall well‑being. Students learn how to "price out" a benefit plan, navigate regulations, and learn about programs that could attract and retain talent. If you want to influence the most meaningful part of the employee experience, this course gives you the tools through interactive discussion on the following:
- Navigating ERISA
- Benefits to Attract and Retain
- Update to Benefits Requirements
- Annual Benefits Limits Update
- In Class Exercise: Pricing Out Benefits
About the Series: This course is one module of the six-part HR Management Series, a comprehensive, hands-on series of 6 HR-related classes designed to meet the needs of HR professionals at varying levels - it will refresh knowledge for those already in the HR profession, provide a comprehensive overview of HR policies and practices for newer HR professionals, and also help build knowledge for those in other positions that have been assigned HR responsibilities including non-HR managers and supervisors. In class exercises and discussion help reinforce the learning. Registrants may register for any of the half-day modules of interest or for all of the module(s) (6 half-day modules available).
